If anyone wants to see >it, send me a private email and I'll reply with a copy. Here are the top ten most "popular" unmaintained ports from this category, in case someone's looking for one to adopt: "name" "popularity" "vitality" "k3b" 754.12 120.91 "sg3_utils" 444.46 41.9 "LPRng" 303.65 5.13 "afio" 292.62 2.44 "anteater" 237.11 4.26 "bchunk" 215.97 2.71 "userinfo" 211.26 23.51 "ddrescue" 210.72 8.82 "cpuburn" 207.73 1 "cw" 207.28 11.25 k3b looks like an obvious choice. I restricted my search to this category while hammering out my approach. Now that I have my code proved out, I'm going to expand it to look at all unmaintained ports regardless of category. Any suggestions for where I should post the results? (That is, unless you think the bitbucket is the only suitable place for it.)
